Farber Hebrew Day School – Yeshivat Akiva

53rd Anniversary CelebrationAnnual Dinner

Honoring Henry (Darnell) McGillJune 12, 2017 | ז"ח סיון תשע"י

Greetings!

It is a basic tenant in Judaism to give recognition to a person for the good that they have bestowed upon you. Farber Hebrew Day School -

Yeshivat Akiva has benefitted from Darnell McGill’s service to our school over these past 31 years. Everyone who comes into contact with

Darnell is moved by his dedication to the school, its staff, its students and parents, and with his modesty. Darnell receives everyone with saver

panim yafot – a full smile. He usually anticipates the needs of people and has the job done before the person even asks. When someone does ask

for a favor, he happily obliges. Darnell can always be relied upon.

Ben Zoma teaches: (אבות ד)את הבריות המכבד ? איזהו מכובד Who is an honorable person? – The one who honors humanity.

Darnell is the living embodiment of this teaching. So many of us have been taught by Darnell not from preaching but by example. It is our

honor this year to honor Darnell McGill at our annual dinner.

May Darnell and we be blessed with many more years of his service at our school.

With Torah Blessings,

Rabbi Scot A. Berman Leah Ann KleinfeldtHead of School President, Board of Directors

We join the entire Farber Hebrew Day School community

in congratulating, thanking and honoring

Henry (Darnell) McGill

for 31 years of dedicated service and contributions to our school

Darnell,

Thank you so much for all that you have done for our school and students over the years.

You have now helped raise and educate two generations of Goniks at Yeshivat Akiva in three different buildings.

I look back at my time at the school and have countless memories of your generosity and care.

I hope you always feel the appreciation that the school, students and parents have for your hard work and dedication.

We would also like to thank the rabbis, teachers, staff and board for another incredible year and for continuing to improve the

quality education provided at Farber Hebrew Day School.

With Love,

Sam, Marni, Amal (a future student IYH), Nathan and Liz

arnell,

Growing up in the hallways of the old Akiva building, the memories fill our heads of you smiling, with your Detroit tigers hat

on, while wiping down tables, stacking tables on the side and dry mopping the floor for us to play basketball, cleaning the

hallways and classrooms, and most importantly, letting us into the building late at night when we left our books and homework

in school.

We have always appreciated your hard work and we want to congratulate you on a well-deserved honor. Keep smiling and being

Darnell – you were and always will be a great role model for all of the students attending Farber Hebrew Day School –

Yeshivat Akiva.

Go Darnell and Tigers!

For letting us back into the building when we forgot a book or paper.

For quietly and steadily making our environment clean and appropriate for learning to take place.

Dear Darnell,Our family has so many memories from Yeshivat Akiva and behind so many of these memories is you- you always there and you

are always ready to do.

In the twenty years we have known you, we have never once heard you say, “I can’t do it”, or ”give me a minute,” or say a

negative word to anyone.

Your generosity of spirit, work ethic and quiet strength has inspired us and two generations of students.

When you are around, we know that everything will be as it should.

May our school continue to be blessed with your presence for years to come.

Darnell,

We were there when you started at Akiva. We all had a very close relationship with your

predecessor, Willy Davis, and it did not take us long to see how special you were as well.

Over the years you have been there to help and take care of our beloved buildings, but

more importantly, you took care of us, and now some of our children.

Our Jewish Sages teach us: “Say little and do much!” Avot 1:15; you epitomize that

statement. You go above and beyond for the kids, the staff and the building.

Thank you for everything that you do.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF DAVID S. TANZMAN Z”L

BELOVED FATHER, GRANDFATHER, GREAT-GRANDFATHER

A FOUNDER AND PIONEER OF AKIVA HEBREW DAY SCHOOL

DAVE’S COMMITMENT TO JEWISH EDUCATION ALONG WITH HIS DEVOTION TO THE JEWISH COMMUNITY OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT WAS

LEGENDARY.

HIS PERSONAL DREAM OF A MODERN ORTHODOX DAY SCHOOL BECAME AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE GOALS AND DREAMS TAKEN ON BY THE

GREATER JEWISH COMMUNITY AT THAT TIME.

HIS VISION OF A PREMIER INSTITUTION OF JEWISH EDUCATION FOR THE YOUTH OF METROPOLITAN DETROIT CAME TO FRUITION AS THE BIRTH OF

AKIVA HEBREW DAY SCHOOL.

DAVE’S LIFELONG PASSIONS OF LOVE OF ISRAEL AND LOVE OF TORAH BECAME THE FOUNDATION OF OUR NOW–THRIVING YESHIVA.

DAVE WAS INCREDIBLY DEDICATED TO A TORAH-TRUE, MODERN ORTHODOX EDUCATION IN THE CONTEMPORARY WORLD.

HE TOOK PRIDE IN ALL THAT AKIVA STOOD FOR, IN ALL THAT IT OFFERED, AND IN ALL THAT IT HAD BECOME. HIS HEART ALWAYS HAD A DEEP LOVE

FOR AKIVA HEBREW DAY SCHOOL.

MAY HIS LEGACY ENDURE AS A BLESSING FOR BOTH PAST AND FUTURE GENERATIONS OF AKIVA STUDENTS .

Dear Darnell,

One role of the ESS staff is to help children find their supplies and materials

to support their educational needs.

Without your support, we could never meet this need.

Flexibility, calmness and dedication are essential when working with children.

You show the same qualities with all the children, families and staff.

You characterize the true traits of a person who deeply cares and is committed

to his job and model this work ethic for all of us daily

Our hope is that our students know we are always there for them 100% of the

time. Just as we feel you are there for us 150% of the time and are eternally

grateful for all you do

Congratulations on receiving this well-deserved honor. We hope your day is as

special as you are to all of us!
